     Extractions: Help for sleepless parents Encyclopedia Index S sickle cell disease, sickle cell anemia Search sickle cell disease, sickle cell anemia This is a condition of the blood cells that affects mainly persons of African or mediterranean descent (Italian, Spanish, etc.). It is caused by an inherited abnormality of the oxygen carrying protein of the blood (hemoglobin). The abnormality is such that the red blood cells behave normally under normal conditions, but certain factors can cause an abnormal clumping together of the hemoglobin. When this happens the red cells assume a characteristic sickle-like shape - hence the name. These abnormal cells clog up the capillaries (smallest blood vessels) and by obstructing blood flow cause oxygen lack in the body tissues. During such an attack of sickling (called a crisis ), the patient experiences excruciating pain in various areas of the body - for example in the bones, or in the abdomen. This pain is related to poor blood flow and oxygen lack in the tissues. The abnormal red cells break down sooner than normal, causing anemia. Sometimes there is a sudden shutdown of production of the red cells - the aplastic crisis - that can cause critical anemia. The abnormal red cells tend to flow sluggishly through the smallest blood vessels (capillaries) and this may lead to

     Extractions: Sickle Cell Disease Introduction Sickle cell disease refers to a group of genetic disorders characterized by the presence of sickle hemoglobin (HbS), anemia, and acute and chronic tissue injury secondary to the blockage of blood flow by abnormally shaped red blood cells (rbc). Sickle cell anemia is the most common type of sickle cell disease and is estimated to affect more than 50,000 African-Americans History In 1904, a black student from Grenada who was attending the Chicago College of Dental Surgery became ill. His physician, upon examining his blood under a microscope, discovered that some of his rbc were sickle shaped rather than round, as is normal. This was the beginning of the medical profession's recognition of sickle cell anemia, however there is evidence that the disease had been present for many centuries. In several West African ethnic groups, there are indiginous names for the disease that reflect some of its characteristics, and a Ghanaian specialist in sickle cell disease has established, through oral history, that sickle cell anemia has probably been present in nine gernerations of one family dating back to 1670. Then, many years later it was found that the parents of a child with sickle cell anemia also had a few sickled cells in their blood, although both parents could be perfectly healthy. From this it was deduced that the disorder was inherited from the parents and that healthy parents carried the trait, or gene, for sickling. Geneticists state that for a given trait to become common, it must have had some advantage for those individuals that makes them stronger with a better chance of survival than others without the trait. Although, nowadays there is a disadvantage of having the trait, there was a time in which one was very fortunate to have the sickle cell trait. That is, carrying the sickle cell trait protected the individual from a serious case of

In collaboration with the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine , the Sickle Cell Center staff is studying the regulation of fetal hemoglobin synthesis and mechanisms regulating red blood cell development and ion transport.

     Extractions: Home Medical Reference Patient Education Hemoglobin is a complex molecule and the most important component of red blood cells. [For a description of blood and the role of hemoglobin, See Box Blood.] Sickle-cell disease occurs from genetic abnormalities in hemoglobin: The difference between hemoglobin A (HbA) and hemoglobin S (HbS) lies in only one protein out of about three hundred that are common to both. This protein lies along an amino-acid chain called beta-globin, where even a tiny abnormality has disastrous results. Sickle cells disease is a result of changes in hemoglobin S: The destructive nature of the sickle hemoglobin develops when it loses oxygen. The deoxygenated molecules form rigid rods called polymers that distort the red blood cells into a sickle or crescent shape. This process is called

Now scientists at Emory University Hospital have done the world's first "unrelated donor" cord blood transplant in a child with sickle cell anemia. Keone Penn of Snellville, Georgia, looks like a typical 12-year-old. But he has a severe cased of sickle cell anemia, an inherited disorder where red blood cells are abnormally shaped. "He had a stroke when he was 5 and he's been getting chronic blood transfusions ever since he had the stroke lots of fevers, infections, seizures," said his mother, Leslie Penn.
